PC modded to look like a stove; won't cook your dinner

PC modded to look like a stove; won\'t cook your dinner

Why would you ever want to make a computer that looks like a as stove? Well, why not? That's really the only reason I can think of. And now a Czech modder has done just that.

The Project MiniCooker PC looks almost exactly like a stove, complete with LED "gas burners" that look real enough to cook some Kraft Mac and Cheese on them. So there you have it: a PC that looks like a stove. Finally!

Now the real trick would be to cool the CPU / GPU / RAM with a refrigerant based cooing system and have the "burners" be the thermal exhaust coils and have a shunt valve to either distribute the heat between all 4 (warm but not too warm...) or have all the heat vented from one burner to cook easy mac on.

A refrigerated system for overclocking combined with a heat capture system to put some of your waste heat to use! Sure, it's no 1000W burner but the ~400w or so in dissipation just to chill your components to room temp, and more as you chill them below that......

Not a too silly concept if you ask me. Overly complicated sure, but what an awesome concept!
